if you see lines of where the ski pass would be when you expose the metal, then go grab your sledge hammer for favorite big rock and smack at it a couple inches from the lines (smacking the center will just make the whole thing bend/dent)
Worst comes to worse, use a saw but then get a fine gride stone tip for the end of your drill and get all those burs/chips out of the metal before you hurt yourself... or your leather

yea i want to swap my 2 10's for a 12W3 or 12W6 and have it facing the center ski pass opening into the car interior like "rome5982's" setup. but i don't have the ski pass option. the metal center looks like it can be taken out with some tools, but the back of the seat looks like one big peice of wood. dunno how cutting that wood will affect the rest of the left side seat. anyone know?
